Wednesday, 18 June 2025 06:00

Suuny skies on Lowestoft's south beach this week.

East Suffolk will join much of the UK will be in heatwave conditions by the coming weekend, says the Met Office.

Heat will build through the week. On Wednesday the highest temperatures values in the UK are expected to be across more inland areas at around 26ºC. On Thursday this will rise to 27ºC and by Saturday increasing more locations will exceed heatwave values, with the highest temperatures expected to exceed 30ºC.

Along Suffolk's coasts and beaches, temperatures will be more comfortable with sea breezes and highs into the low to mid 20s Celsius.

Matthew Lehnert is a Met Office Chief Meteorologist. He said: “An area of high pressure over southern England will build across a larger part of the UK through midweek. Ahead of this, wet and windy weather will affect the far northwest later today and into Tuesday morning. It will remain very warm across parts of the east and south.”

Tony Wisson is a Deputy Chief Meteorologist. He said: “The rising temperatures this week are a combination of several factors. Over the next few days, settled weather and warm sunshine will allow temperatures to rise day on day. Temperatures will then rise further towards the end of the week as winds turn more southerly and even warmer air over continental Europe will be drawn across the UK. We could very well see several places exceeding 30ºC, which will be the highest temperatures of the year so far.”
